As the heart of Africa, Burundi is a small landlocked country located at the junction of eastern and central Africa, across the Nile and Congo basins, dominated by hills and mountains, and has an excellent altitude for coffee cultivation. Burundi is located in central Africa with a pleasant climate. Arabica coffee beans grown in the mountains of north-central Africa are of high quality and have won first prize and sixth place respectively in the coffee quality rating of Southeast African countries and the Paris Coffee Fair. According to the annual production of coffee beans in this country, the annual output is between 8000 and 35,000 tons, which is mainly sold to the European markets of Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria and so on.

Burundi has the most diverse and successful coffee industry in the world and has its own characteristics. Coffee in this country was introduced by Belgian colonists in 1930 and is now grown only on small farms. Unfortunately, many of these farms are on the border with war-torn Rwanda, putting pressure on coffee production. Almost all coffee produced in Burundi is Arabian coffee beans, while coffee trees in Ngozi are planted at an altitude of more than 1200 meters.

The high planting height of coffee in Burundi, the right amount of annual rainfall and the nutrition of volcanic soil are fully in line with the conditions for the production of super-high-quality coffee. Burundian coffee has a rich aroma and excellent acidity, and most of its products are exported to the United States, Germany, Finland and Japan.
